American journalist, author, and ghost writer Neil Strauss has a new book that’s releasing this week called Everyone Loves You When You’re Dead. Los Angeles’ local alternative paper, LA Weekly, gives a great summary of the book:

One thing that Strauss decided to leave out was a hate letter from Phil Collins.

One thing that Strauss decided to publish was a run-in with Paris he had back in 1999, during which Paris decided to take a hit of ecstasy, brag about her boob job that she got when she was 14 (and how her mom made her remove them), explain how she wanted to pose for Playboy (and tell her dad about it, so he would pay her twice as much NOT to pose), and… point out which guy she made out with (but stopped when he saw him in the light and noticed he was black).

Here’s an excerpt from Strauss’ book:

In 1999, shortly after moving to Los Angeles to cover pop culture for the New York Times, I ended up in a room with someone I’d never heard of before. She seemed to embody young Hollywood. She didn’t want to be an actress, a singer, or a star – though she would soon become all three. The art form she’d chosen to embrace was partying. She was with a model friend of hers and talking about performing a sex show together for someone named Artie the previous night, then taking dirty photographs afterward. In the background as we spoke, the movie Saving Private Ryan was playing. After this conversation, she proceeded to get drunk on Midori sours (each with six cherries in the glass), make out with David Faustino of Married… with Children, take a hit of ecstasy, play Britney Spears songs practically nonstop, and have a threesome. Maybe she said what follows for provocation and shock value. Maybe she didn’t. You decide…

PARIS HILTON: I had a breast job when I was fourteen, but my mother made me take them out.

How old are you now?

HILTON: I’m eighteen.

Are you working?

HILTON: I’m thinking about posing for Playboy. They love famous people’s kids.

Like who?

HILTON: I don’t know. And the only reason I’d do it is because when my dad finds out, he’ll pay me double the money not to do it.

Later…

HILTON: I went out with that guy last night.

Which guy?

HILTON (points to an actor in Saving Private Ryan): We were making out, but then we went somewhere where it was bright and saw that he was black and made an excuse and left. I can’t stand black guys. I would never touch one. It’s gross (pauses) . Does that guy look black to you?

How black does a guy have to be?

HILTON: One percent is enough for me.

And there it is. This is how words from the past are slapping Miss Hilton in the face.

What a way to start my day of blogging. This was in my inbox this morning, and I couldn’t believe it! Gavin opened up in the new issue of Details, explaining his relationship with Robinson.

Details: Last year, the cross-dressing pop singer Marilyn revealed that he was romantically involved with you in your teens—an assertion Boy George first made in 1995. Why haven’t you talked about those claims?

Gavin Rossdale: I think at the outset there was a sort of fear—that was right at the beginning of Bush, and I didn’t want it to be part of it. It felt like a cheap shot, so I was like, “I’m not getting involved.” I’ve never wanted to appear closed about it. It’s not something I’ve talked about really because it’s always been in the glare of a tabloid world. It’s just one of those things: Move on. When you’re 17, Jesus Christ. I don’t think there’s anything strange about any form of—you’re learning about life. It’s a part of growing up. That’s it. No more, no less.

Details: So it was just a one-time experimentation? Gavin Rossdale: Yeah. That was it. You have to know what you like, and I know what I like.

Manson hit L.A. hotspot Boudoir with some friends on Saturday night to blow off some steam. “They just broke off their engagement, and he needed a night out with friends,” says another source.

Manson proposed to Wood back in January during a performance in Paris. They originally began dating in 2006, but split two years later when Wood was rumored to have cheated with actor Shane West (pic below). They split – then reconnected in January when they became engaged.
